Together at the stable door, together under one roof — A Special Christmas offering

For some years now, Lakeview United Church has been living with a leaky roof that has lived well past its lifespan. We have “worked the pots” and “patched the spots” in every effort to manage one year more. We are so grateful to everyone who has contributed to getting us through to this point. But now, we have to deal with the roof.

The Board of Lakeview United Church, after reviewing a roof inspection replacement report established a capital fund-raising campaign of $150,000. Don Rigby announced this campaign on the last Sunday of Pledgefest and introduced our mascot, “Roof-Us”, the dog who only has one message—Roof! Roof!  This year, we have designated the Christmas Offering Envelope to this purpose. It would be great to end this year with a good start on this large and necessary project.

Our goal is to have the roof replaced and paid for by our 50^th Anniversary in 2012. We hope everyone will be inspired to help keep a roof over our heads. Tax receipts are issued. Please find a special Christmas Offering Envelope for this purpose enclosed in this mailing.

Thank you and may God bless us, everyone!

Daryl Sedor,
Board Chair
